Just ordered my R154 1J!!
I just placed my order on a soarer r154 mated to a 1J from JHOT. According to JHOT, the motor should be here later this month.
I already got my wheels, supra seats, and LS400 brakes. Now its time for some motor mods!!
Ill post up some pics later when I get home.

Damn, did you get a good price on that? A soarer combo is pretty rare, I usually see autos or just motors, especially from JHOT.
Be sure to post lots of pictures of the progress.

The motor/trans is actually on its way as we speak. It should be arriving in about 3 weeks.
Make sure to take a bunch of pics and post as soon as you get a chance!
Yes...that would be me!!

cool deal man can't wait to see your swap.
yeah guys if your looking to get a swap you definetly need to call places, the only people that seem to have nice online layouts are shady dealers like tiger.
jhot and jarco are about the only two i'd deal with on the eastcoast for sure, jhot is horrible about knowing what's coming on there containers, so i've been calling them once a week almost for about two months, but every swap i've seen from them is very complete so hopefully mine is too.

I didnt feel like modding the shifting assembly and what not. I think that if you do that, it wont be as crisp as stock, so i went for the soarer r154.

Bean obviously he doesnt know about the parts you describe. His loss of cash, not ours!

Last i heard, people were still researching getting the goosenecked shifter.....
Even then, Id still take the original soarer tranny over a modded supra....but thats just personal preference....
